I'm impressed, especially after watching the video.
I also go those old school Disney vibes.
If they put this much effort into the Halycon, as I'd imagine they have - the space aspect of it should be impressive as well.

How well is the general effect pulled off?
Does the Earth look like it is both below you and distant (as a sphere would)?
Do the ships/astronauts floating about appear to be in a middle distance as one patent showed possible?
Thanks to all doing coverage.

I read from first hand accounts that there indeed is like a middle plane for the various ships, astronauts, and other objects floating, kinda similar to how the effect is pulled off on ROTR with the ships in the bridge/cannon screens.

I thought ROTR did it well when I got to see it personally, so same here most likely.

I'm sure it's been asked and answered already but I didn't see it mentioned so I'll ask: (again?)
Is there any physical/practical effect enhancements to the arrival/departure scene? A vibrating floor, a shifting handrail, Hot/Cold? Anything?

Yes vibrating floor.

I was wondering about this as well.

Reminds me of back in the day where fastpass was first come first serve and when the parks opened a number of guests ran to the several FB locations to get the coveted FBs. How times have changed.

This video probably brings tears to Chapek's eyes as he mutters "Dreams really do come true."

I've been throwing some shade at Disney for their recent attractions, but from the video and photos, this looks good - like some old school imagineering with true immersion.

His name happens to be Bob too.

Maybe Chapek is using that fatter than fat paycheck on cloning endeavors..........

What does Bob 2 do?

 

[WondersOfLife]

Imagine.... A no disney character fully immersive experience is now considered “old school.” Yikes.

What does Bob 2 do?

Bob Wilson - he is with Delaware North.
